I've been using airtel 3g sim for the past three years and finally i decided to convert it into 4g as i had finally bought a 4g device. But after the conversion i have not been able to receive any msgs, be it my bank synced details for eg. Otp, withdrawal details etc or other msgs. Even when i try to call customer care its invalid. Please help me out

    After being a customer for 10 years, suddenly my phone/sim card will not send text messages. It will receive text messages only. I have been to the airtel store several times to attempt resolving the issue. But the problem remains. I need it fixed so i may use text messaging on my phone. I have pruchased 400 messages this month that i am unable to access or use. Please help me resolve this problem.

      There is an airtel express store near by my area. When i inquired about buying a 4g hotspot, the store keeper said it costs rs2710. When i paid the amount and got the box i notice that mrp on the box was rs2500. When asked about why he took the extra amount, first he said it is gst. After i clarifying that gst should be included in the mrp, he said it is the dealer commission. I was surprised to hear that so i demanded a bill for that but the store keeper was reluctant to provide one. I became supicious by his act so decided not to buy the hotspot. I took the money back by returning the box.
      Further, on the same occasion (Prior to buying the hotspot) he charged rs150 for a new 4g pre-paid sim. I'm not sure how much is the actual cost but i doubt it is rs150.

      I request you to advice the store keeper not to demand extra cost from customers.

      Here is the store address:
      No 37/1, ground floor, subbarama chetty road, near dental care, basavanagudi, bangalore, pin: 560004

        I recharged 399 plan for my airtel sim the plan is for 84 days unlimited calls and 1gb 4g internet per day.. I have samsung galaxy j7 pro mobile, i'm using this airtel sim right now in this mobile only. The problem is whenever i turn on data, though it shows 4g but internet speed is not even 2g. Airtel i cheating it's valid customers by this... Even i contacted customer service also, they are not even bothered about solving the problem, they are telling that it's because of the tower problem or signal problem... If this is the case, either refund my money or i'll complain about this at consumer court...

          I want to deactivate my airtel 4g wifi number because i am not getting proper connectivity in my area which is causing problem for me as most of my work is online and the net provided by airtel is very bad. I keep calling on 121 and other airtel customer care numbers but they keep telling me that the servers are down or there are some technical issues so i give up on airtel and want to deactivate my number.

            Airtel has denied my claim. The service request number is 2228962. The reason for denial is "improper handling". No proper care of the handset has been taken by the insured to safeguard the property. I categorically mentioned i accidentally dropped my phone. I had the phone in my hand and while i walking it just dropped on the floor. Please assist.

              This ia reminder no. 2 for the complaint of network issue for the below mentioned numbers.. Which was filed last week and due to your constant fake promises of solving the issue in another 72 hours. It hasn't been rectified till yet...

              Subject: networks issue in all my airtel postpaid mobile numbers

              This is regarding to the complaint of networks issue in my residence

              D-353 anand vihar delhi-110092

              All my postpaid and prepaid mobile numbers of airtel are facing the zero network of airtel whereas several other network operators are being shown in the above mentioned address..

              The complaint has been done several times, but no action has been taken till yet and everytime we raise our complaint, the airtel customer support gave false hope to us that the problem will be rectified in 72 hours..

              Your airtel network department team also visited last week and it was told that within a couple of days they'll provide us network booster, by which all our handset will start receiving the networks.

              So this time i hope that you'll provide best of your support and assistance as early as possible... Otherwise very soon i'll use the power of social media and

              Consumer court..

                I actually switched to airtel hearing all about its good network and services but after days under good network i am starting to think that the company has changed its attitude from customer satisfaction to ignoring its grievances. I just missed some bills and my number gets disconnected. When approached a nearby airtel store and asked for the issue, they said as soon as i pay the bill my number would be start automatically. I asked them again if they are sure about it, would paying bill will instantly reactivate my number and that responded wit assurance and i paid the bill at the store itself. After sometime the thing happened which i was afraid of, the executive comes to me and says that he spoke to his senior and he has said to him that that the number has been disabled and it is difficult to give the number back to me. I really felt that if i have been conned, first they make me pay the amount and after that straight away deny reactivation of my number. I badly wanted to get the number back as it is my primary number and it is registered in various accounts and services. I realize now that all the advertisement and marketing of how better a company you are just to lure in people and as soon as they join give a kick on there back. If this is your business strategy than i too have some tools that are also factors in business expansion. I am will not bother about the money i lost, keep it with you, may that help you any away but i am not going to recommend anybody of your services and even going to give bad reviews on every platform. I am going to make sure nobody in my circle or surrounding will be using your network or your services so that nobody of near ones face the same problem or let them feel the same way i felt through your services.

                      My broadband connection landline no.:[protected] is not working since long.in spite of repeated requests / complaints we are not getting the permanent solution. Now airtel technical staff too have stopped taking our calls. We fail to understand the reason for such careless attitude. We request for the solution at the earliest possible as we need the net services urgently.

                        Airtel cheating customers, recently i noticed that my 1gb per day data was being consumed very quickly so i installed 2 to 3 data usage mapping apps to calculate which apps were exhausting the data. To my surprise i saw that after seeing the message 1g for today is over i opened the apps and they showed that 400mb data is left. This is proof that airtel cheats its customer in these gross ways. Will switch back to jio if this is not solved

Recently i have landed to singapore in february 2017 and since then till date 19 september 2017, my number was switched off. I want to use my number and it is stating it is not active. This number was purchased under the name of my uncle "gopal krishnan" at that time for me. Please help me to activate this number as this is the only number of mine which i have in india. This is the only number which is registered under my bank account.
                          Kindly do the needful. As i have used this number for more than 4 years.
                          Thanking you!

                          Regards,

But still the call doesn't connect. It's not the first time for me. I haven't used my sim for past 6 months properly and suddenly these pops up when i recharge.

                            And they have also deducted most of my balance from the past few months as i didn't had a phone and had kept the sim with myself. The balance when i checked after putting the sim into phone was 1.80 rs from 40rs.

                            The guy called me and he didn't even confirm me that he was an Airtel executive and he asked me that he needs the card number to resolve the issue. When I asked isn't transaction Id enough he keeps insisting to provide card number.
                            He called me from this number [protected]
                            When I called him back it says your call is on wait please hold the line.

                            Within 5 min of recharge, 99rs balance deducted. They automatically activated some stupid modeling services and when i call customer care it says press one press two... But still the call doesn't connect. It's not the first time for me. I haven't used my sim for past 6 months properly and suddenly these pops up when i recharge.

                            Says he is an airtel executive and he doesn't even confirm himself and doesn't know any other languages except hindi and english directly asking for card details and insisting for card details and doesn't need transaction id.

                              This is to inform airtel customer service, that is, regarding the cellular data suspended on my airtel network. From the day i am using my sim's cellular data it's not working. Eventhough i recharged n number of times it didn't work. Please let me know what is the problem and rectify it as soon as possible. And do let me know for sure when the problem is resovled. Thank you ☺️

                                Hi,
                                I had activated a channel for 60rs. But i deactivated the channel in 5 minutes. The airtel personnel told me that the amount will not be refunded. I lost 60rs in the transit. I have not made use of the service, so i request you to help me refund the amount.
                                Please find my details mentioned below
                                Date of the incident: 19/sept/2017

                                I request you to refund me my 60rs.

                                Thanks,

                                  I wish to bring to the knowledge of the management that from the beginning of this month i have been patiently asking airtel to send me the bill so that i can cancel your service but for whatever reason until this moment nobody answers the calls nor sends me the bill. Firstly i was cheated by giving me a wrong scheme, which was not sufficient for a student and that data did not suffice even for a week. Hence i opted for cancellation. This being a postpaid number, i dont now the motive behind this. I have posted the same complaints in google, mouthshut and facebook. If you want to see that pls share your fb id will tag you in that. Have also sent a mail to trai and consumer forum for them to know the mental agaony i am going thru to take your connection.

                                  I have lost my patience in this regard and am forced to bring it to public,

                                  Regards
